[Pro] "Upload Extra Resources" Action for FW Pro 6

Hi All,
I need to install the “Upload Extra Resources” Action so I can use Magic Zoom. Action Forge does not show a FW 6 compatible version. Humm … What to do ?

I’m using Tim Plumb’s “Upload Stuff” version 1.1 with current Freeway Pro 6

  • works great!

Try it and see if it works.

Just because it has no #6 against it doesn’t mean it is not compatible - just probably means that nobody (the developer) has checked.

There are others that will do the same job ie Upload Stuff (dont know if it has been checked either)

Wow, fast replies !
I did try the FW 5 version of it and the Pro folder contents is a script, not your regular folder with the yellow F. What would I have to do with it ?

Hi again,
I have installed Upload Stuff and it lives in the Page actions menu. (I was under the impression it was a Item Action.) Will it work for Magic Zoom ?
Do I have it all wrong here ?
Humm… again!

It will work fine. Extra Resources is an item Action, because that works better on Master pages and it also means you can attach more resources to a given page, just by adding another instance of the Action to a different item on the page. (Actions have to be coded with the exact number of slots that you may ever need, there’s no way to programmatically add more on demand later. This is why there are the “60” versions of Rollover and Target Show/Hide [Image/Layer] in the Forge.)

You know, I have no idea or interest what “Magic Zoom” is. That’s your job.
BUT… if you want to upload something to the Resources folder or to the same
folder your HTML page resides, Upload Stuff does that beautifully.

The way I use it is as a page action. Select a page, open the Actions
palette, click the + icon, scroll down to Upload Stuff and choose it. Then
tell it where to put what. Super easy.

Thanks Walter. This is precisely the reason why I would prefer to use Extra Resource. How can I get it into FW 6 ?

The Pro folder contains a file ‘Extra Resources.fwaction’ - all you need to do is drag this file over the FWPro icon in your Dock and the action will be installed.

Alternatively you can add this folder into your Actions folder but the location of this will depend on what version of OSX you are using.

The other thing to remember is that all the action does (in the MagicZoom instance) is upload the 2 magiczoom files to your server.

Any FTP app can do this for you and you only need to do it once.

I would upload these 2 files into a folder on my server at www.mysite.com/magiczoom and then in any page you want to use it you just need to include the path ie

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.mysite.com/magiczoom/magiczoom.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mysite.com/magiczoom/magiczoom.js"></script>

Of course if you wish to add the image files you might want to use Extra Resources but not necessary for the core files.
